After sailing on the Underworld Ice Cold Sea for roughly a hundred miles or so, on the surface of the sea, an astral wind was set off, and as they got closer and closer to the Phoenix Nest, the astral wind became more and more severe.
It was as if there was a real sharp blade flying in the wind.
“Wow…”
Zhang Ruochen, Princess Rakshasa, and Chu Siyuan all put up a layer of light shield to protect their bodies against the astral winds flying in from all directions.
Thirty miles away from the Phoenix Nest, the Sycamore Divine Tree stopped.
In front of them, the Heaven and Earth Sacred Qi was rapidly rotating, forming a huge vortex, and the Phoenix Nest was located at the centre of the vortex.
The astral wind in the vortex was even more severe, and on top of that, there was also a mass of green and white Pure Destruction Divine Flame swirling and flying within it, so it could be said that there was a dense crisis there, and it was difficult for even Saint Kings to break through.
Princess Rakshasa said, ”This vortex, is the last layer of boundary area to enter the Phoenix Nest. The deeper one goes into the vortex, the greater the danger becomes. Only by using spatial power is it possible to break through the vortex and break in.”
“Is that so? I still don’t believe it!”
Chu Siyuan had already reached the Saint King realm, so naturally, he had pride in himself, and with that, he took out a foot-long bronze brush, a piece of drawing paper, and an ink stone.
The drawing paper, which was forged from a rare metal, was six feet long and ten times thinner than ordinary paper.
In the ink stone, the beast emperor blood, even if there is no external power to add in, just the blood itself contains energy, is scattered burning hot breath, like a furnace.
Chu Siyuan spent a lot of effort to get a little bit of Beast Emperor blood from the imperial court, has always been regarded as a precious treasure, seldom take out to use.
“Wind Fixing Pillar.”
Chu Siyuan mobilised his spiritual energy into the bronze pen, and with a twist of his wrist, he dabbed up the Beast Emperor’s blood in the ink stone, and frantically sketched on top of the metal paper.
Princess Rakshasa’s jade finger stroked her chin, revealing a very interested look. After all, in the Rakshasa Clan, it was hard to come across a spiritual cultivator who practised the Dao of Painting.
A moment later, Chu Siyuan stopped his brush, and with a dry palm, he pressed on top of the scroll, and a large amount of spiritual energy gushed out.
“Boom.”?The scroll flew into into the vortex, radiating a piercing golden light.
Immediately after, there was a ten-thousand feet tall golden pillar that appeared and stood on the surface of the sea, and on the surface of that golden pillar, there was a blood pattern flowing.
The whirlpool’s rotation degree actually became really slow, and the sea surface also gradually became flat.
Seeing that the vortex is about to disappear ……
Suddenly, in the surroundings of the wind-stabilising pillar, densely-packed spatial cracks appeared, just like insects devouring it, and soon tore the wind-stabilising pillar to pieces.
“Boom.”
The vortex burst out again, sweeping in all directions.
Chu Siyuan’s eyes widened as he said, “The space here is too fragile, once an over Saint level power enters the vortex, a large number of cracks will appear in the space. However, without a power at the Over Saint level, how can it withstand the astral wind and the Pure Destruction Divine Flame?”
In Princess Rakshasa’s heart, she was secretly a little surprised.
The strength of this old fellow was still quite strong, and if there was no interference from the spatial power, it was not certain that he would really be able to fix the vortex.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Ruochen had been observing carefully, and it was only at this time that he opened his mouth and said, ”It’s not that the spatial structure has become fragile, but rather, there is a rather brilliant spatial formation arranged in the vortex. As long as we break through the formation, we can break in.”
Princess Rakshasa had obviously studied the spatial formations here a long time ago and said, “It is indeed a spatial formation, in addition to that, there is also another type of killing formation, the Life and Death Two Extremely Large Formations, the two formations complement each other and are almost fused into one. If you crack the space formation alone, you will definitely be attacked by the Two Great Formations of Life and Death. Cracking the life and death two great formations alone would also be attacked by the space formation. Therefore, the two formations, must be cracked at the same time.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “So, by using the Wall of Merit Book to threaten me, you want to use me to help you crack the spatial formation?”
“That’s right.”Princess Rakshasa said.
Chu Siyuan’s expression was grave as he said, “The Two Great Array of Life and Death is an eighth-grade array formation that is extremely complex and subtle, even if a Saint King breaks into it, he will most likely die inside.”
Princess Rakshasa let out a light laugh, “The attainments of the Ice and Fire Phoenix above formations can only be regarded as rare, this Princess has a few points of confidence in being able to break open the Life and Death Two Great Formations that it has set up.”
“The young people nowadays, they are really more crazy than one another.”Chu Si Yuan said.
In fact, the Two Great Array of Life and Death that the Ice and Fire Phoenix had set up was not as unpleasant as what Princess Rakshasa had said.
It was only that with the height of the Icefire Phoenix’s cultivation, there should have been a ninth-grade formation guarding the vicinity of its own nest. However, the Two Great Arrays of Life and Death was only an eighth grade formation, and even if it was fused together with a spatial formation, there was still a considerable gap compared to the power of a ninth grade formation. That was why Princess Rakshasa had said that the Ice and Fire Phoenix’s formation attainments were sparse.
Of course, with her and Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation realms, going forward to crack two formations that were carefully laid out by a Great Saint was still an incomparably perilous thing to do. Among the Saints, I’m afraid that only a supreme heavenly pride like the two of them would have the guts to do so.
Princess Rakshasa and Zhang Ruochen each chopped off a branch the thickness of a bucket from above the Sycamore Divine Tree, stood on top of it, and rushed out, breaking into the vortex inside.
Princess Rakshasa took out a holy staff and pointed it inside the vortex, and instantly, millions of formation inscriptions appeared, resembling a gnarled dragon weaving in and out of the vortex, operating quickly.
The Two Great Arrays of Life and Death was indeed quite complex, with millions of inscriptions intertwined together, wanting to crack it would be as difficult as heaven. If one wanted to rely on brute force to blast it to pieces, I’m afraid that one would need the strength of at least a seven-step Saint King to be able to do so.
Chu Siyuan stood on top of the Sycamore Divine Tree, staring at the Rakshasa Princess as she quickly removed one of the formation inscriptions, and admiration grew in his heart, “Truly formidable, for such a demonic maiden to emerge from the Hell Realm, she will surely become a great danger in the future.”
On the other end, Zhang Ruochen was also quickly cracking the spatial formations, advancing forward at the same time as Princess Rakshasa, the two of them working together almost seamlessly.
However, while Zhang Ruochen was cracking the spatial formation, he was only able to comprehend the spatial way contained within the formation.
According to Princess Rakshasa, if one wanted to cultivate the spatial rules to the realm of the truest and most extreme, one had to rely on one’s own enlightenment to comprehend it. As long as one comprehended the Way of Space to a certain level, they would naturally be able to reach the Most True to the Ultimate.
The first hour passed.
Zhang Ruochen and Princess Rakshasa had walked forwards for a distance of roughly three miles, and the vortex’s rotation slowed down by a tenth.
The fourth hour passed.
Zhang Ruochen and Princess Rakshasa walked forward for another five miles, and the vortex’s rotation degree became only half of the original.
The seventh hour passed.
Zhang Ruochen and Princess Rakshasa walked to the depths of the vortex, only ten miles away from the Phoenix Nest, and the rotation of the vortex became even slower.
It was at this time that a faint fluctuation emanated from Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea.
In the Tongtian River, that spatial rule gave birth to a derangement, reaching the level of the Most True to the Most Extreme.
“So it’s that simple.”
A smile appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face.
There were times when one did not reach that realm, there was all mist and confusion before their eyes. It was only after reaching the realm that one would realise that everything was quite simple, only that one had thought it too complicated.
Now, it was just a matter of comprehending the rules of time to the level of Supreme Truth and Ultimate Truth as well, and Zhang Ruochen would be able to reach the Supreme Sage Realm.
“I hope that I can have the opportunity to comprehend in the Phoenix Nest, allowing me to break through the realm in one go.”
Zhang Ruochen was incomparably eager to obtain great power, only with great power could he comfortably deal with the next life and death battle with the Rakshasa Clan.
After an entire day passed, Zhang Ruochen and the Rakshasa Princess stopped and glanced at each other.
Afterwards, the two of them simultaneously burst out their most powerful strength and attacked a certain formation node in the air.
“Rumble. ”
The spatial formation and the Two Great Arrays of Life and Death shook violently at the same time, and immediately after, they began to crumble, emitting a dull popping sound.
Although the vortex disappeared, a tens of feet high sky-high wave was lifted from the sea, and even more large amounts of Pure Destruction Divine Flame and spatial cracks flew out in all directions.
At the very moment when the formation was breached, Zhang Ruochen and Princess Rakshasa simultaneously executed their fastest stances, transforming into two golden streams of light, exploding back towards the rear and landing back on top of the Sycamore Divine Tree.
On the surface of the sea, a terrifying force was raging madly.
Zhang Ruochen, Chu Siyuan, and Princess Rakshasa each held up the most powerful protective treasures on their bodies to ward off the destructive forces surging over.
The most miserable was definitely the Sycamore Divine Tree, which was constantly being attacked by the Pure Destruction Divine Flame and the spatial rift, and other than a single trunk, those other branches and leaves were either chopped off or burnt to ashes.
Another roughly three hours passed before the sea, was gradually restored to calm.
Zhang Ruochen said, “The final boundary on the outer perimeter of the Phoenix Nest has been broken, so you can hand over the Wall of Merit Book to me now, right?”
“Of course.”
Princess Rakshasa took out the Merit Book Wall from the interior of a spatial treasure, her rosy lips gently ticked, and then, she actually violently threw the Merit Book Wall out.
“I knew you would play tricks again.”?Zhang Ruochen stepped on top of a sycamore branch and mobilised out holy qi to infuse into the branch, rushing out as if he was an arrow off the string, chasing after the direction of the Merit Book Wall.
No matter what, the Wall of Merit Book could never be allowed to fall into the sea.
Only by first allowing the Broad Cold Realm to rush to number one could Zhang Ruochen truly let go of the wall, at least for now, he was unable to do as he pleased like the Rakshasa Princess.
It was precisely for this reason that he was constrained by the Rakshasa Princess at every turn.
“Cheer up oh, I’m bullish on you.”
The Rakshasa Princess laughed, and then, was flying down to the top of a sycamore tree branch, rushing over in the direction of the Phoenix Nest, and drifting back in the wind, she said, “Qiu Yu, that old man will be left for you to clean up, it’s sort of a test for you from this princess.”
